Chapter 121 Solved in one day!
"That's right!"
Once the first person speaks out against it, the second and third will naturally follow.
In the end, almost all the pressure from the entire court was directed at Ye Qingan alone.
A group of old foxes worked together to find faults in everything, picking out almost all the problems, big and small, overt and covert, and even reasonable and unreasonable.
Ye Qing'an is alone after all. Even though he has been thinking seriously alone in his house for four or five days, there are bound to be some omissions.
Fortunately, Emperor Xuanwu did not expect to finalize such a major event as the promulgation of the new commercial tax immediately.
He silently wrote down all the most heated remarks in the court. After the court session ended, Emperor Xuanwu summoned Ye Qing'an to the imperial study room alone.
"Lord Ye is indeed a talent that I value!"
Almost as soon as he sat down, Emperor Xuanwu began to praise him generously:
"Yesterday I was reviewing memorials until late at night, and I was extremely sleepy. However, after opening the memorial submitted by you, I suddenly felt refreshed and all my fatigue disappeared!
If it wasn't so late, I would have summoned you yesterday for a chat!"
"Your Majesty is so complimentary."
Ye Qingan quickly bowed:
"In fact, the main reason why I was able to come up with the new commercial tax is thanks to Princess Saint Ann."
"Little five?"
Emperor Xuanwu was slightly startled, and was really surprised again:
"What's Xiaowu doing here?"
"Your Majesty, on the second day of the Chinese New Year, Princess Sheng Ann visited my residence..."
He repeated the situation on the second day of the Chinese New Year, especially what Yunshu had said to him, word for word.
At the beginning, Ye Qingan was just stating the facts.
But as he spoke, his voice involuntarily became much lighter.
Why does something seem a little wrong?
That day, he was thinking about the new business tax and had no intention of caring about anything else.
But now, let’s put aside everything else and just talk about Princess Saint Ann’s performance that day…
He felt that Princess Saint Ann had already thought of the new commercial tax.
Her so-called distress and confusion, and even every seemingly unintentional word that followed, were just attempts to guide him to think about the new commercial tax?
Hiss...No way?
He actually taught such a wicked student?
But if that was the case, why didn't she bring it up herself?
I am afraid of offending the noble families and all the merchants in the world.
Or maybe because of her status as a princess, she didn't want to stand out too much and attract attention.
Or maybe... all this was just a coincidence, and he was just overthinking it?
Ye Qing'an, who was full of thoughts in his mind, didn't know that just when he was extremely entangled in his heart, Emperor Xuanwu in front of the dragon case also saw the familiar light curtain again -
【The Sims selection system is at your service.
Please select the decision you would like to make next:
A. The task of perfecting the new commercial tax law will be fully entrusted to Ye Qingan;
B. The Ministry of Revenue will be solely responsible for the improvement of the new commercial tax law;
C. Summon Yunshu to discuss the matter. 】
It’s Xiaowu’s business again!
Emperor Xuanwu gave up the idea of choosing C directly and decided to start from A and look through them one by one.
[You chose A. Ye Qingan was promoted three levels. The new business tax law was popularized in Tiansheng in one year and successfully completed in three years.]
A new tax law was popularized in one year and improved in two years. This result is already quite good. He is worthy of being a talented person that he is optimistic about!
Emperor Xuanwu moved his eyes away with satisfaction and looked at the second item.
[You chose B. Three years later, the new commercial tax law was popularized in Tiansheng, but the effect was minimal, and the Minister of Revenue was dismissed.]
waste!
The Ministry of Revenue is a bunch of rubbish!!
If this option was the first one, he would be angry, but not as angry.
After all, the people in the Ministry of Revenue all came from big families. They didn't like the new commercial taxes and were procrastinating on their work. Today they were thinking about how to make profits for themselves, and tomorrow they were worried about offending other colleagues. It was not unimaginable that they would make a lot of mistakes in the end.
But the problem is that the contrast between the before and after is too strong. It made him furious and he wanted to call those people from the Ministry of Revenue over and scold them one by one!
"call……"
Emperor Xuanwu let out a light breath, and with a feeling of frustration that he had nowhere to vent, he looked at the third option.
[You chose C. Within one day, the court officials' doubts about the new commercial tax law were resolved.]
"!!!"
Emperor Xuanwu was really grateful that he was sitting upright on a chair and had nothing in his hands.
In one day!!
Qilin girl! Hahahaha, Xiaowu is indeed his Qilin girl!
Emperor Xuanwu immediately summoned Li Dehai.
So, in the study, Yunshu, who was still dreaming, was woken up again.
Yun Shu: “……?”
Was she an alarm clock in her previous life?
Can't I ever see her get a good night's sleep in this life?
Feeling resentful that her nap was interrupted again, Yun Shu reluctantly followed Li Dehai out of the study:
"Why is your Majesty looking for me at this time?"
"How can a servant know about your Majesty's affairs?"
Li Dehai was still tight-lipped. Knowing that no matter how much he asked, Yun Shu wouldn't get anything out of him, so she simply shut up and quietly followed him to the imperial study.
"Your Highness... I pay my respects to you, Father. May you be blessed with good health and happiness."
When Yun Shu entered the room and found Ye Qing'an in the imperial study, his heart began to beat fast.
After Emperor Xuanwu told her about the new commercial tax and asked her what she thought,
Yun Shu, who was completely convinced that Ye Qing'an had "betrayed" her, turned her head and glanced at Ye Qing'an faintly.
You, the scapegoat number one with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually threw the blame back to her!
Ye Qingan: "..."
What does Princess Saint Ann's look mean?
Could it be that he had really guessed right just now, and the new commercial tax was indeed something she had thought of long ago, and she had gone to his house on the second day of the New Year just to guide him to bring up this matter?
Ye Qingan's heart was shaken, and before he could react,
Then Yun Shu spoke to him resentfully:
"Master Ye, you thought of a way to deal with land annexation that day, why didn't you tell me a word?"
"?"
Ye Qingan was stunned, and the cognition that he had just confirmed was shaken again.
He hesitantly raised his hand:
"That day, I only had a rough idea, and I hadn't thought of many of the details yet, so I didn't tell Your Highness immediately. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
"It's not to the point of being a crime or not."
Yun Shu waved his hands quickly:
"But after returning to the palace that day, I thought that Master Ye couldn't do anything about this matter. I was very distressed for several days and even didn't sleep well!"
"From what you said, you haven't slept for the past few days, just thinking about this matter?"
